    EXCURSIONS 1994 Reportandnotesonsomefindings 23 April.NormanScarfe,EdwardMartin, TimothyEaston;PhilipAitkensandClivePaine Nortonand Tostock Norton,LittleHaughHall (by kind permission of Mrs B.H. Fyfe-Jamieson). (Fig. 82,131.X.L11).Core of house built by Borowdale Mileson Esq. (c. 1607-78) who purchased property, 1641 and was taxed on sixteen hearths here, 1674. Estate sold by grandson Mileson Edgar (1677-1713) to Thomas Macro, wealthy grocer who lived at Cupola House, Bury St Edmunds. Macro seems to have intended house for son, Revd Dr Cox Macro (1683-1767), who, in addition to being chaplain to George 11, was notable antiquary and patron of artists, being described by Dr Richard Hurd, Bishop of Worcester (1720-1808) as 'a very learned and amiable man, the most complete scholar and gentleman united that almost ever I saw' (Peile 1913,152). Original appearance of house seen in picture (Pl.XLII) painted for Dr Macro by Dutch artist Peter Tillemans (now in Norwich Castle Museum). Tillemans a friend of Macro and died while staying with him, 1734. The two men had met by 1715; shown together in Tillemans's painting of his studio, c.1716 (also in Norwich Castle Museum). Date of house painting uncertain, but perhaps dates from late 1710s or early 1720s. Shows rectangular, three-storey, brick house with dormer windows in roof and small cupola off-centre at top. Seventeenth-century brickwork still apparent on W. front, where plainly seen that earlier framework has resulted in cramped positioning of 18th-century Venetian window in relation to door beneath it. Remainder of house now encased in white-painted render or 19th-century white brick.

  • REPONSE to LGBCE DRAFT PROPOSALS Mid Suffolk District
    REPONSE TO LGBCE DRAFT PROPOSALS Mid Suffolk District Council is pleased to have this opportunity to respond to the draft recommendations of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) during this second consultation period. In general, we are content with those draft recommendations however, there are two ward areas in which we would like to propose alternative warding patterns for consideration by the LGBCE. The changes we are proposing in one of those areas do also have minor ‘ripple‐on’ effects into two neighbouring wards. The fact that the counter‐proposals we are now submitting only have a significant effect on three wards out of the twenty six wards proposed in the draft consultation indicates our high level of support for the LGBCE draft proposals. We feel that a good level of electoral equality has been achieved by the LGBCE in these draft proposals whilst reflecting real community interests and identities. For these reasons we feel it is important that we give our observations on all areas and not just comment on those few instances where we would like to see alternative solutions. Western parishes (but referred to as ‘Eastern’ in draft report) We have some reservations about the new two‐member ward of Elmswell & Woolpit. However, we have not been able to devise a workable alternative which does not have extensive and unwelcomed repercussions elsewhere. At our Full Council meeting a number of Members raised concern about the Haughley & Wetherden ward. The concern relates to area in the south of the Haughley ward which fall within Stowmarket Town boundaries.
